Brass Ball Valve for Fluid Control

This inline ball valve uses a two-piece brass body with a stainless steel ball and full-port design. It handles air, oil, steam and water in plumbing or industrial systems. The FNPT threaded ends allow direct connection to matching pipe fittings. A locking handle prevents accidental operation during service.

Installation Notes and Common Issues

The valve threads onto 1-1/2 inch FNPT connections using standard pipe sealant or tape. Two-piece construction means the body joint can weep if not tightened evenly during assembly. Full-port flow reduces pressure drop but the larger ball requires more handle clearance than reduced-port models. Locking handle adds a step when cycling the valve quickly.

Suitability and Limitations

Suits installers needing a 600 psi rated brass valve with locking handle for air, oil, steam or water lines. The 150 psi steam limit and 29 in Hg vacuum rating cover most general service conditions. Buyers who need 3-A sanitary compliance or combustible gas approval should look at something else. California Proposition 65 warning applies to this product.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the valve is sealing properly after installation?

Pressurise the line up to 600 psi for water or 150 psi for steam and check for leaks; the stainless-steel full-port ball and two-piece brass body should hold pressure without weeping at the FNPT threads.

What components are included and what must I supply separately?

The valve ships as a complete two-piece brass body with stainless-steel ball and locking handle; you must provide 1-1/2 in FNPT pipe fittings, thread sealant and any required mounting hardware.

Which pressure-rated version should I choose for my application?

Select this model when your system requires up to 600 psi water or oil service, 150 psi steam service or 29 in Hg vacuum rating; the full-port design maintains flow without added restriction.
